This is a family favorite that I have been making for years in the crock pot.  It is truly the simplest, easiest meal to throw in the crock pot and then let cook all day.  It requires a good 10-12 hours, so it’s great for days when you need to leave the house early or have things going on all day and are too busy to worry about dinner.  My children all adore this meal.  It’s not Todd’s favorite meal, but he will eat it without complaining.  He likes it better if I substitute the red potatoes for sweet potatoes, but then the kids don’t like it as much.  I make it both ways every other week or at least once per month.  This is designed to fill a big crock pot, but you can adjust it to make less, if you wish.

Instructions:
1. Cut potatoes and place in bottom of crock pot.
2. Pour green beans on top, and spread out to cover evenly.
3. Place Lil’ Smokies on top of the green beans.
